  1. The whole reason for the buffer is preventing bolt bounce so it can fire in full auto. Otherwise the bolt can be unlocked when the hammer falls and fail to fire
    11
  2. the trigger guard just rotates and fits inside the grip, there is no separate plate to cover the grip cavity.

  3. You don’t need great marksmanship with a 50, just winging your enemy is more than enough

  4. You should know the difference between black bear scat and grizzly scat. Black bear scat is smaller with berries in it. Grizzly scat is larger, smells of plastic and has HiPoint pistols in it 😅

  5. Everyone needs one of these just in case!

  6. front sight is the modified version same as the C2. Original sight blocks do not have removable ears.
    2
  7. Change selector and the trigger plunger for R&R

  8.  @briang530  they are great pistols when maintained properly.
    2
  9.  @inquisitorsquish5422  a jam does not make it a pistol design issue, could be ammo, lots of grit in it or lack of maintenance. They are accurate and can be shot extensively. Do you know why yours jammed or just blame the pistol and not the operator?
    2
  10.  @briang530  Heavier? Have you owned one? Arn't ideal but NATO countries successfully use these for decades, mmm? Obvious to me you have Never used one. Oh and they hold 14 rds. so not low capacity.
    2
  11.  @nickverbree  a failure of the system when unused HP's are stored in supply with the stickers still on the grip and you get junk. As I recall the sticker has Canada in English, Chinese and Russian. All slides have some movement but I know what you mean. The same pistols always seem to be used for shooting and are not rotated in stock, there was no mandate to do this, no written order. Really they are only a defensive weapon. Just be lucky that you didn't have to use the old Sterling smg's. You could hit the sky with them but that's about it. And you were never tortured with the old Browning gpmgs in 7.62.

  12. Hostages love having grey matter splatter when it’s not their own
    2
  13. Picked up a French MAB .22 semi pistol from the 1950’s very nice all milled steel and ergonomic grip. Not many made
    2
  14. I’d say the M16 produced by Colt Canada, formerly Diemaco. Several countries have ordered variations and previously it was modified for Canadian use and accuracy
    2
  15. could make a polymer one
    1
  16. How do your wall mounts work to hold the firearms? Where did you source it? I have a couple Colts and this history is interesting.
    1
  17. thanks much appreciated. Would work well with swords too!
    1
  18. Chinese still copy without understanding the design elements and engineering.
    1
  19. Because you want to be quiet before you pull the trigger and then make a lot of noise? At the movies the sound of a gun action scares the crooks away
    1
  20. One expensive mg but there’s no better 😊
    1
  21. Used to strip and repair these and many other firearms.
    1
  22. Forward assist so when It’s jamming just Jam it harder. Don’t use the darn thing
    1
  23. The 1897 was for ducks 🦆 and many decades ago ducks swarmed coming in 😊so with a few guys firing you would get lots of them, Teddy as President regulated hunting and stopped market hunting. The pump shotgun was a huge advantage over double barrel shotgun
    1
  24.  @dalemoss4684  regardless hunters could knock more ducks down with a pump than a double barrel. They also held more than 3 rounds and usually tripled the firepower of a double.
    1
  25. Huge marketing push for this caliber? Typical make people unsatisfied with what they currently have. Haven’t seen recoil complaint for the 9mm Parabellum until they promote lighter recoiling cartridges. Full size handguns 9mm is easily handled. Compact pistol some may want smaller cartridges.
    1
  26. French military rifles? Never fired and dropped once? It’s an old joke 😮
    1
  27. Gas tubes always cracked at the radius for the gas cut out where it was pinned. Always set the gas setting on #4
    1
  28. Severe failures equals rarity. Had they been sturdier they would be worth less today.
    1
  29. Both have coil springs for the hammer. It’s the sear that has the flat spring. Making grips and frame/slide fatter is going backwards in my view, don’t need excess metal for 9mm
    1
  30. Once you begin missing with pistol the misses seem to continue. Why is that, happens to me!
    1
  31. a good gunsmith in British Columbia, great for double shotguns, Stuart, of S J Newby Gunsmiths Ltd. (Half Moon Bay BC 604-740-3725). He learned to build them from scratch in England.
    1
  32. Carl G is well made
    1
  33. Possible a two piece bolt to prevent bolt bounce since this fires from a closed bolt and not the usual open bolt
    1
  34. The internet has brought to light many variations of firearms and their markings including regimental. This has increased the value of some firearms since we can now connect them to particular regiments and battles. I find museums have no room to display the majority of items and they do deacession (sell) examples to fund current displays since switching up displays=-more revenue $$. Dedicated museums are for my collecting field much more important. What is available to view in Toronto at the ROM is not worth seeing, it's more a business to generate $. I've heard horror stories of items being lent to museums and then growing legs and disappearing. Curators usually do not know enough about firearms and other weapons and with political correctness many arms are filed out of sight. Best to keep items in private collections where they won't be stamped with ID numbers and won't be welded shut. Yes new deactivation standards weld everything to prevent movement making them a chunk of metal. With modern alarm systems why is anyone frightened by having working fireams in museums? Museums also have displayed incorrect info or lack of. Museums need curators who have good interest in firearms, not just ferrous metals stabalization. Private ownership creates many personal curators and the majority of firearms or of any object are in private hands.

  35. The 5.56 cartridge solved recoil and weight issues. MG’s can use the larger calibre
    1
  36. These rifles used to sell for under $100 at auction. Price has risen
    1
  37. Looks like a well made piece. Firing it would not feel the same without the heavy bolt moving forward to fire.
    1
  38. I ran 8 full 30 rd mags from a C7 and it was cooking hot. To hold it I had to put my beret under the fore stock 😊
    1
  39. Great stuff! Years ago I watched Leopard tanks firing their 105mm. With the 105mm howitzer you can see the projectile in flight. Nothing like being close to a large gun firing.
    1
  40. Non US guns would run 750-850 rpm😊
    1
  41. I remember no one was interested in something viewed as to fail at that critical moment. Electric firing for tanks works well but not hand held firearms.
    1
  42. Knowing theory of operation should bring you to the problem. In some cases it is an ammunition issue. Interesting it was a machining issue.
    1
  43. Deaccession will have museums selling off items to fund their focus. Other collectors will keep care of your stuff and give you $ for it. Few firearms are rare
    1
  44. Looks like the 50 spotter on the 106mm recoiless. They didn’t have a muzzle brake. Phosphorus rounds to see where they hit, tink tink on armor then fire the main gun and bugger off because the enemy has seen your location with the huge back blast from the recoiless rifle
    1
  45. Specifically made to kill Nazis. Some of these Chinese contract pistols wound up in Canadian service.
    1
  46. 5.5 pound weight savings is great. Need that to make it portable for extended periods of time. Five pounds feels like fifteen after a short time. Besides then you can carry more ammo which is heavy
    1
  47. Have an Hungarian one with matching everything including mags and holster. Hungarian crest on grips 😊 Any idea of value? I got it years ago
    1
  48. I like the 1951 Beretta
    1
  49. shoots 1/4 pounders
    1
  50. Years ago they laughed at shoulder fired 50 saying impossible. I want one!!!
    1
  51. If you could only have one firearm this would be it for me
    1
  52. Trigger guard folds back and fits inside the grip, replace retaining screw and it’s set for winter warfare 😊
    1
  53. Interesting scope. However I like Elcan scopes on a flat top receiver
    1
  54. of course just pushing the slide rearward temporarily disables autos.
    1
  55. I have a "Joe Peters" pistol quite similar with shorter frame dust cover, alloy frame with stainless slide in 45 ACP. Only marked Joe Peters and a JP-00?? serial number. Front and rear slide serrations and small multi tubular extensions for gripping front and rear. What do I have?

  56.  @briang530  some have been others zero to few rounds fired. Part of proper maintenance is overhaul and rebuild so yes they can be kept in serviceable condition. I was in the business of doing this for many years
    1
  57.  @briang530  and you are rude, good for you
    1
  58.  @briang530  what the F do you think I did for many years? Of course you can't keep rebuilding the same gun, I NEVER said that. Time you learned how to read comments
    1
  59.  @briang530  not so. Your ONLY experience with handguns is an issue weapon. I doubt you own one pistol. It's easy to drink the kool aid and believe only Glock when you have little experience. Glock is successful due to their price point and profit margins, they cost under $100 US to manufacture and this number comes from Glock. Many regard the Browning HP as one of the best pistols made so you're in the small minority. I doubt you own even one pistol, I can't even recall every pistol I've owned and do own. Different makes from different eras including new ones. So I think I have hands on experience to say the Browning is still relevant. If you don't believe me ask people around the world who still use them. You will find more Browning HP than about anything else in Europe and Africa. I know you're not experienced with firearms or you would not be bashing the Browning HP. In fact I wonder why I bother even posting a comment because everyone already knows everything and it just attracts negativity.

  60.  @briang530  I'm not going to brag just to compete with you. I probably retired before you joined the army.
    1
  61.  @briang530  SA instructor, as they say if you can't do, teach (421 joke) actually I taught at CFSEME. But you only instruct the basics of handling. Were you 031 ? You strike me as being inf. If you don't know what I'm talking about your BS'ing me sir. I've done my share of 202WD overhauls.
    1
  62.  @briang530  Browning/FN doesn't make them anymore. The supply of Inglis parts is finite. It is of course possible to tool up but supplying a new pistol is what is wanted if only to fuel confidence in it. I'm just saying will a replacement outperform the Inglis to any meaningful degree? It was nice to see the FNC1 be replaced in 86 and the gpmg desperately needed replacement. The 50 BMG is still hanging on. There is talk of surplusing off the Inglis HP but nothing has come of it yet. Unlikely now with you know who at the helm.
    1
  63. ​ @briang530  FN's are excellent rifles. You can get new old stock parts at gun auctions such as Switzers out of Bancroft. Too bad they are prohibs. The 50 was changed to serialized parts which never made sense to me, adjusting HS &T was easier and allowed use of any part. I like the Sig P226 and P220 hammer fired. Get any crap in striker fired ones and some have a plastic sleeve they don't fire the harder mil primers. Might be interested in this site for parkerizing kits : https://www.caswellcanada.ca/home.php

  64. China makes lots of M305’s but gas blocks tend to be slightly offset.
    1
  65. Powders that leave lots of residue jams a Sig. just because a powder is listed in a reloading manual doesn’t mean that they are good
    1
  66. Canadian government doesn’t like assault style rifles 😮 that’s far left radical liberals for you 😮
    1
  67. I always remember “sucking chest wound” and always have in my vehicles those army bandages for such wounds
    1
  68. These are fun to shoot. Several variations for different mounting situations. You can adjust the gas washers to increase the rpm. I recall they are rated at about 1100 rpm but we had them set too between 800-900rpm. They are easy to maintain and repair. Remember never to place your hand underneath it where the casings ejected. The qcb makes it a great mg. I miss the days of free ammo
    1
  69. Clean after firing 😮 the gas piston head can jam due to the barrel rusting underneath it. Then it just fires once 😮
    1
  70. I know a collector/dealer who always offers low and claims he really needs it for his personal collection. Later you see him selling these at shows. Never tell anyone your sources or you'll find them competing with you.
    1
  71. You can show both sides of a firearm, just display two of them:)
    1
  72. I bet the hotter 9mm made for smg’s would do better 😊
    1
  73. If you pay above market today it will be worth more than you paid in time.
    1
  74. More cartridges is more exposure to your opponent if you want to discharge them in their direction. Until they design something better than 9mm which is cheap to shoot I don’t believe labelling something as “super” carry is meaningful and more marketing ploy for people getting into the pistol market
    1
  75. When gun enthusiasts die they go here.
    1
  76. Make a sculpture with the HiPoints and a wheelbarrow full of cement 😊
    1
  77. Scopro Optical Co makes Vortex and others. Cheapest place on the planet to produce inexpensive scopes
    1
  78. OPP swat teams used the FNC1
    1
  79. The cover and latch will just be shrapnel 😮
    1
  80. Soldiers with little to no experience would likely shoot faster with the 1897😊 can’t really miss shooting down a trench
    1
  81. Martini Henry actions were made as shotguns and top load
    1
  82. I’d like to see these resurrected and produced again. Existing examples are expensive.
    1
  83. These were difficult enough to try to hit something in 9mm let alone a 45! Canadian army used these in 9mm into the 80’s. Bolts were one piece only, not like this one.
    1
  84. before noon? It's noon somewhere in the world. However Baileys with a shot of coffee works.
    1
  85. Gotta kill the big man with the big gun 😅
    1
  86. Very rare arms don’t tend to make the $ that other arms found in volume do. They are just not collectable if there are not enough out there to be collected. Sure a one off can be worth more but not as much premium as you would think.
    1
  87.  @eberbacher007  MG42's have parts availability and an inexpensive 8mm caliber that you can find and shoot it. You don't want an obsolete or expensive caliber to feed an MG
    1
  88. In Canada $1499 (Can$). Oh but wait for Trudeau's 2021 May gun ban and I'm sure these will be gone too.
    1
  89. Remake of that movie would be great 😊
    1
  90. Online auctions sell more firearms than a museum has. I wonder what the break down is for collector professions. I know doctors collect and this goes hand in hand with affordability. So do lawyers, politicians etc. collect? Who owns some of the best private collections?
    1
  91. MythBusters! The "ping" yes if all that shooting and explosives going off don't deafen you, that ping will give the enemy a second to rush forward with a bayonet! A brass casing about the same as a 12ga round but longer fires a 155mm round, not a myth. In Africa some believe the higher you set the rear sight the harder the bullets hit. In the mid 1800's they said few were wounded with bayonets. They didn't count the dead by how they died and usually bayonets killed not wounded as several jabs would be to stop the enemy. My friend thinks Famous grouse is top shelf. What is top shelf for you????
    1
  92. Those plastic grips with mottled color are made by changing colors and the two colors mix until the old color plastic is expended. I Usually only takes under a dozen to switch colors
    1
  93. HS & T or revised 50 with serialized parts which adds to complexity but Canada did this in conjunction with Colt Canada. Shooting these never gets old.
    1
  94. Has he tried a longer barrel for velocity and without silencer?
    1
  95. What you value your life as will decide which pistol you purchase 😅
    1
  96.  @mahbriggs  I bough an as new Sig 220 at auction for 1/3 the cost. Don't have to buy new to own one.
    1
  97.  @mahbriggs  you can buy used for much less and get a better made gun.
    1
  98.  @mahbriggs  yes I got lucky. Just place low bids and wait. If you're in no hurry you can find something nice
    1
  99.  @mahbriggs  yup smart
    1
  100.  @mahbriggs  well a pipe gun can go bang too. It's what level of accuracy and function do you want? Making a cheap 10mm? No one needs a 10mm for self defence, you can get something much less bulky and more dependable. There will always be a market for cheap guns, I prefer better knowing many firearms throughout my career. Do people not save up to buy anything better these days? If you don't have the self control to save up without spending it what are you doing?

  101. Slam fire is poor terminology for this 1897 p and 1912 p Winchesters. The bolt locks before the hammer releases.
    1
  102. Looks like something In Robocop! Seeing someone run forward shooting it makes you want to exit
    1
  103. Colt Canada doesn’t use gain twist but does have the bore diameter narrow by a couple thousands at the muzzle so with wear it can maintain accuracy
    1
  104. These are great mg’s. Several mounting options and Canada called it the C6. QCB and it’s simplicity makes it great. Adjust rate of fire using washers in the variable gas setting.
    1
  105. Pretty much followed the older design right up to the magazine 😊
    1
  106. If you need a heavy barrel version you need quick change barrels
    1
  107. It’s in the script 😅
    1
  108. The HP weighs virtually the same as the P38. How heavy is this new HP ?
    1
  109. in 1000 years will there be any interest? Will darconian measures ban all weapons making interest fade? We can only guess. Robocop movie reminds me of the then antique firearms taken from a museum (but those ones worked). Possibly it's superficial thinking influenced by such Hollywood bunk that has made museums weld up firearms. I believe this is closer to the truth than we'd like to believe. Museums have become business that is expected to generate income, this should not be the only reason to exist. Museums should be free to enter and funded by govt. Making them fight to survive is wrong, it is not their mandate to be a business.

  110. Glock manufacturers pistols for under $100, that’s their cost. About 8x profit margin at retail? So what’s the manufacturing cost of a Hipoint?
    1
  111.  @123mbo  read the Glock book, I can't recall if those costs were included or not
    1
  112. Vz52/75 sells for about three times more than the Vz52 most likely due to ammunition availability.
    1
  113. More artifacts and lose all those giant graphic art wall coverings that only fund graphic artists. 4x8' sheets of print for one arrowhead for example is nuts. Spending to much on modern display and interactive. That and paying architects to build modern buildings to house antique artifacts, crazy. Overpriced buildings while old buildings give ambience and can serve just as well. I'd rather see swords and armour in a 14th century castle than a modern steel and glass monstrosity. At least a Victorian era building.
    1
  114. The 1895 Win musket is nice
    1
  115. A longer projectile requires a faster twist rate to stabilize. It’s not weight but length though weight increases usually with length.
    1
  116. Keeping up the long standing tradition of pillage and plunder! To the victor goes the spoils
